Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A clothes-peg made of a closed looped strip of synthetic material extending along the geometrical outline of a standard peg, wherein the elasticity of the peg is no longer obtained by a spring, but by the mere straining of the peg produced by the interengagement of the points joining two clothes engaging jaws on one hand and the two finger gripping ends on the other, the stress arising through the drawing together of said points stressing and deforming the structure, the jaws of which are thus normally urged into cooperation.
  • clothes-pegs or spring-clips may be made of a single part of plastics associated with means interconnecting either the jaws or the gripping lugs of the peg.
  • known pegs provide only a slight clamping effect, since synthetic resins do not show the advantageous properties of spring steel as concerns resistance and elasticity.
  • the invention has for its object to remove this drawback of known clothes-pegs made of plastics by making the actual peg body act as a spring.
  • the tensile stresses which are underneath the elastic limit of the material forming the peg are distributed throughout the body of said peg and ensure thereby a sufficient permanent clamping force.
  • the invention has for its object a clothes-peg constituted by a strip forming a closed loop, which loop includes a succession of parts corresponding sequentially to the inner surface of the first jaw, to the outer surface of an arm carrying said jaw, to the inner surface of a finger gripping member located at the end of the peg facing away from the jaw on said arm, to the inner surface of the other finger gripping member which is connected in its turn with one end of a further arm, to the outer surface of said further arm, and to the inner surface of the second jaw carried by the outer end of said other arm.
  • the inner surfaces of the two clothes engaging jaws are elastically and pivotally interconnected and the same is the case for the inner surfaces of the finger gripping members while the connecting points between the inner surfaces of said jaws and between the inner surfaces of the gripping members are provided with mutual interengaging means.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a clothes-peg as it passes out I of the resin-injecting mold.
  • FIG. 2 shows the same clothes-peg after its two halves have been interengaged, so as to set it under tensile stresses urging it into its closed condition.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section through line IIIIII of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the peg illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 shows the peg illustrated in FIG. 2 in its open condition.
  • FIG. 1 shows it as it appears as it passes out of the mold. It is then constituted by a strip or ribbon 1 forming a closed loop. Starting from point A of FIG. 1, and following the strip outline clockwise, it is apparent that it includes a part B corresponding to the inner surface of the first jaw, a part C corresponding to the outer surface of the first arm of the peg, two parts D and E forming the inner surfaces of the finger gripping members forming the ends of the two arms of the peg, a part F corresponding to the outer surface of the second arm of the peg and a part G forming the inner surface of the second jaw on said second arm.
  • This part A includes two arcuate projections H,I facing the finger gripping end of the peg and forming together a cylindrical surface, with a gap J between the ends of the projections.
  • the parts D and E on the gripping end with a rounded cylindrical member K whose outer diameter registers substantially with the diameter of the cylinder defined by the projections H and I.
  • the latter clamp between them the rounded part K, whereby the peg assumes the shape illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the tensile stress thus applied to the peg acts throughout the latter and urges the clothes engagingjaws against each other with a force which is suf ficient for securely holding a piece of linen, for in stance, between them.
  • the parts C and F of the strip 1 are provided with inner ribs 2 and 3 respectively, which increase the rigidity of the outer surfaces of the peg arms.
  • a clothes-peg comprising a closed looped strip including in succession a first inner jaw surface a first outer arm surface, a first inwardly bent gripping end surface, a second inwardly bent gripping end surface connected with the first gripping endsurface at-a point of the longitudinal axis of the peg, a second outer arm surface and a second inner jaw surface connected with the first jaw surface at a point on the longitudinal axis of the peg, the provision of means interengaging the connecting points between the jaw surfaces on the one hand and between the gripping end surfaces, on the other.
  • interengaging means include a semi-cylindrical projection on one connecting point and two part cylindrical projections formed on the other connecting point and defining a gap through which the semi-cylindricalpro- 0 jection extends to be held therebetween.
